Stop Running Away

On the wide bed, Princess Jade Hayes lay quietly, her breathing shallow.

At the foot of Princess Jade Hayes's bed, Charles Hayes was held in place by Mrs. Penny, while Quentin Lin took a deep breath and, with a cold glint of his golden needle, pierced it into Charles Hayes's body...

Charles Hayes cried out in pain, his little face flushed red.

Hearing Charles Hayes cry, Quentin Lin's face showed a trace of reluctance. He said softly, "Be good, Charlie. Uncle is treating your illness. Good boy..."

"Quentin, keep going, don't hold back!" Mrs. Penny urged.

Quentin Lin nodded, focused his attention, and began the acupuncture for Charles Hayes.

The baby's cries echoed, heart-wrenching and tragic. Mrs. Penny held Charles Hayes with one hand, then turned and called out loudly to Princess Jade Hayes: "Your Majesty, can you hear? Your son is crying! He's right at your feet, crying his heart out! Can you hear him?"

In the dark depths, Princess Jade Hayes seemed to be soaking in a hot spring, feeling comfortable and relaxed. This feeling made her want to stay immersed forever...

But suddenly, Princess Jade Hayes heard crying from the heavens—a voice so painful and familiar...

"Who...who is crying..." Princess Jade Hayes, in her dazed state, felt herself pulled by that cry, rising from the warm spring and looking up at the sky.
